Got out for a nice hunt this afternoon. Found a new spot that has some potential. Lots and lots of trash in the top 2 inches, but the goodies are hiding at 5+ inches.

A couple of Rosie's, a Merc and a War Nickel. :happydance01:

The two V's were sandwiched together. You can see the contact marks. That was a fun dig. :yes:

Sure wish the half dollar was silver. I'm not quite sure what the tag is from. I wonder if 1895 is a date? :confused:

The pool products token was at the bottom of the hole when I popped a large plug.
Of course it was sticking out (with a reeded edge) just enough to get my hopes up. lol
Another Cocoa Pebbles Dinosaur token too... anybody else remember these?

I can't wait to get back there with my smaller coil. There's got to be some older silver waiting to be found. :yes:
 
Nickel trifecta:huh:

WOW! You don't see this very often. That is just awesome, and silver to boot. Great hunt.

It's the first time I've gotten a War Nickel, Buffalo and a V in the same hunt. Would have been nice to find a Shield Nickel too? lol
 
Looks like the day went as planned :yes: Maybe even better than planned! lol
Awesome hunt Joe!!
What town around there starts with the letter &quot:grin: ?
I think that DDT 516 1895 item is a D(name of town)DogTax Dog #516, good for the year of 1895. thumbsup01 :yes:
My buddy would flip if he seen that! He go's koo-koo for those dog tax tags :crazy: lol
And thats a OLD one too !! Cool find!!
Glad your day went as planned and you found some great keepers!!
Congrats :grin:
 
Awesome score of a bunch of nice old coins thumbsup01 the dog license is definitely an oldie, my oldest to date is an 1896.
 
Great Job Kress, love those V nickels , the ones I find out here are usually trashed.. and of course, any silver is always a welcomed sight!! :clapping:

:shocked04: Thanks for the info Tim. thumbsup01 &quot:grin: would most more than likely be for Dubuque... the town where it was found. Dubuque Dog Tax. This beats my earliest dog tag by 22 years. <:
